A recovering alcoholic whose wife is about to give birth is selected as a juror in a high-profile murder trial. He quickly realises that he knows more about the case than he should. Clint Eastwood's 40th directorial work may not be his most exciting one, but it is a solidly entertaining court drama about guilt and responsibility. Nicholas Hoult gives an powerful performance as a troubled man in a moral dilemma.
